Another early start of Okappari (shore fishing) to catch some Halibut! Alamitos Bay is a famous place for Halibut fishing, but this time I decided to go fishing at Redondo Beach with my fishing friends, Miki and K. First thing in the morning, I started casting with the FM110.

Redondo Beach is known for their rock fishing, but we decided to start off from the harbor side. After a few minutes from the first cast, Kimi gets a bite with the FM110 and caught a small size Mackerel (Saba)! The lure color used was “Aurora Black”!! In contrast to that, I changed my aim at a deeper range! I used the newly released “Bigup” lure which I haven’t had any catches with it yet and continued to cast with that. I used the “Day Iwashi” color!! It features a red color belly which Halibuts tend to like.

I really want to catch something with this new product! And this strong feeling really came through… I changed locations and after few castings and at about 4m until fully retrieved, I saw something going after my lure!! Usually at this point, it will notice and I could never catch it! Bu…bu… but!! This time I was able to stabilize my retrieving speed without panicking and… bamn!! It finally came!!! The lure was already at its tip at the 2m range so I wasn’t able to enjoy fighting with the Halibut, but I FINALLY got to catch a Redondo Halibut!! The size wasn’t even close to being a legal size, but it is still a very precious catch!

Kimi was catching so many Mackerels too! The “Aurora Black” color seemed to work best!! Usually, Kimi mainly goes bait fishing, but today he kindly went lure fishing with me. And he even caught some fish!! He really got to enjoy using our Lucky Craft lures!! Thank you!!
